Wind in my hair

Free verse

What if you knew that it was like
Having the wind in my hair?
It's a shame that no one saw the rain on my face
There were too many clouds in my head
Too many cracks in my heart
And all the while
I ignored one dream for another
I sold my gold for beans and a smile
And something that tasted like ash
The hills rolled by
While the trees shed their clothes
The stones turned their gaze from me
Or perhaps it was mine from theirs
The ground shook then opened up
The Stars dimmed
And I felt something like
The wind in my hair

Author's Note

Yes that's me in the picture.

Ah ha! Good imagery, although I do sense such a lonely cap off the ending there. It took me to a sad forest with nothing BUT the wind in my hair. Good read, fluent and thoughtful!

You are very perceptive Mel_central because that's exactly what it's about. I was in a 7yr relationship with a woman but never felt so lonely. I gave up everything to become something that I thought she wanted and in the end she would destroy everything that I worked for and ever was. I am only now putting the pieces back together. Thank you for your review.
